Capsule toy pull rates, market prices, product availability, and game mechanics change frequently.

Always verify important purchase decisions through official sources.

7. Affiliate Disclosure

Disclosure: Gashapoint participates in affiliate marketing programs. Some links on this Site may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase โ€” at no additional cost to you.

Specifically, Gashapoint is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. We may also participate in affiliate programs for other retailers and brands relevant to capsule toy culture.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We do not recommend products solely because they carry an affiliate commission, and we do not withhold negative assessments of products due to affiliate relationships. All product recommendations reflect genuine editorial judgment.

Affiliate links are identified within individual articles. If you have questions about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, please contact us.

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising, and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions.

8. External Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. These links are provided for your convenience and informational purposes only. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site, and we are not responsible for any third-party site's accuracy, legality, or content.

The inclusion of a link to a third-party site does not imply endorsement of that site or its content by Gashapoint. You access third-party links entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of those sites.

We make no representations about the availability of any linked resources and accept no liability for any unavailability or changes to third-party content.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to revise and update these Terms at any time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all access to and use of the Site thereafter.

Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms means you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of updates. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised whenever material changes are made.

If we make changes we consider material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users, which may include posting a notice on the Site's homepage for a reasonable period of time prior to the change taking effect.

10. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions.

Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Delaware, USA, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of those rights. A waiver by us of any term or condition of these Terms in any instance shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of such term or condition in the future.
